Kelly, that's great!  Katee Owens is also willing to help, I believe, but she
"came up lame" this past year after we started discussing this project.  She
will chip in if she can.  

   ***** I'd like to get at least ONE MORE dedicated volunteer,****

which is why I'm cc'ing the Ridecamp list on this response.

In order for the data to have much credibility at all, we really need to get
100% coverage of all entrants who vet in successfully -- even if some decline to
participate or answer all the questions.  That means we have to have someone
there on Friday, 6/23, before the vetting begins at 11:00am, and gapless
coverage all day until after 5:00pm, when they close the vet station.

I was originally expecting not to go to Robie personally, but my wife, Natalie,
has decided to do the Ride this year.  So I will be there and can help as well.

Presently, I will crank out a draft of the data collection form for us to
review.

Thanks again for volunteering!
